Now is probably a good time to commit a crime in Italy

Not sure if they wanted to, you know, tip off every criminal in the country about this, but TIM, the largest wireless carrier in Italy, sent a fax to every public prosecutor in the country alerting them that they are literally tapped out. They've maxed out their capacity to tap cellphone calls—apparently they only have enough capacity to tap up to 7,000 cellphone lines—and from now on new requests will have to be processed on a "first come, first served"
basis.
